That night, Zhang Xian quietly came to Lu's house and told the truth about what happened in the imperial study during the day.
Lu Desheng stood up excitedly, "I'm going to the study!"
Mrs. Jiang: "Don't go!" Don't think she doesn't know what he wants to do.
"lady?"
Ms. Jiang quickly grabbed him and said, "Be good, let's be patient."
The little girl only asked Luo Tieniu to bring back a bag of tips, but now they have all been used up. What if he goes to mess with Zuo Anmin and gets trapped in Chang'an? The little girl is far away in Pingzhou, and she has to find a way to get him.
Now, the goal of external release has been achieved. At this critical moment, it’s better not to cause unnecessary problems.
"As the saying goes, a gentleman's revenge is never too late."
Lu Desheng: But he is a villain. His motto has always been, the villain takes revenge, from morning to night!
He looked at his nervous wife and thought, forget it, for the sake of his daughter and the family reunion, he just had to be a gentleman for once. But he had already decided. Before leaving Chang'an, he would give Zhang Xian the records about Zuo Anmin in the notebook, and ask Zhang Xian to keep him secret from time to time. Humph!
Just when Lu Desheng received the approval to be released, Xu Zheng, Yang Wei and his party also returned to Chang'an City.
The two of them didn't rest. Xu Zheng didn't even go home. Instead, he went to the Yamen to hand in the assignment, and then he and Yang Wei followed Lu Mingzhi to the Lu family.
After discussing the departure time with Lu's father, they each went back home and persuaded the family to move to Pingzhou together.
The next day, Xu Zheng, Yang Wei, Wu Ren, Hu Guangcong and others came to Lu's house again with some samples of medicinal materials. Most of the remaining brothers stayed at the Yang Wei Escort to guard the batch of medicinal materials they brought back.
The top priority was to dispose of the valuable medicinal materials they brought back before leaving Chang'an.
The medicinal materials are all good, but now they are short of buyers.
Lu Desheng heard that they had brought back a batch of medicinal materials from Pingzhou and wanted to sell them. He wanted to earn some travel expenses. He did not ask for the specific amount and just handed the matter over to Lu Zhiyuan.
Lu Zhiyuan has often dealt with merchants recently, and his father-in-law is a medicinal herb dealer. He himself often helps his family, and he also knows some medicinal herb dealers. It shouldn't be a problem for him to pull the strings and sell the medicinal materials.
After Xu Zheng came back, the Xu family also started to pack their luggage.
Although Xu Zheng returned to Chang'an, he began to be busy leaving early and returning late, and was often away from home. Xu has a large family, so he doesn't need his help to clean up.
This escort trip made Xu Zheng realize that it is still very useful to wear a layer of official skin. Therefore, he has been working in the Yamen recently to get a transfer order so that the official's status can be transferred to Pingzhou.
In fact, Lu Desheng sent Uncle Lu to Houcheng as the county magistrate. If his family went to Houcheng, finding a job there would only be a matter of Uncle Lu's words.
But he made extra preparations and waited until he arrived in Xiangping to see how the Sixth Young Master would arrange it.
There was also the matter of buying and selling medicinal materials, he had to help, he couldn't just leave it all to others.
This time, Lu Zhiyuan successfully invited medicinal material merchants and drug store keepers from Chang'an City.
The medicinal material dealers approached by Lu Zhiyuan all felt like mourning at first.
They were too scared but didn't dare not come.
Lu Desheng has been making too much noise recently, causing trouble and trouble, and many court officials have been made disgraced by him. Now that they have been found, what will happen to them?
They thought they were going to lose money this time, and exchanged cryptic glances with each other. Just accept your fate and let it go. If it doesn't work, just spend money to eliminate the disaster.
But when they saw the neatly arranged boxes of medicinal material samples, they pounced on them. There was no reason to be afraid or worried.
They all know the goods and recognized that these are authentic medicinal materials from Pingzhou, and they are also valuable medicinal materials!
Pingzhou is too far away from Chang'an City, so the medicinal materials there are very rare and the price is really expensive. Even at the same price, they can't get such good quality.
The first medicinal material dealer spoke up, and said with a strong voice, "How many of these medicinal materials are there? We, Chuncaotang, want them!"
"Old Xu, you don't want to eat alone. We are short of these good medicinal materials at the Rejuvenation Pavilion."
"Master Lu, please sell it to us at Baicaotang. The price is negotiable."
Lu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I can't make the decision in this matter. I am just a middleman. If you want to buy it, go and talk to them." As he said that, he pointed at Yang Wei, Wu Ren and others.
These medicinal materials are indeed easy to sell. Yang Wei and Xu Zheng looked at each other.
Wu Ren stepped forward with a smile on his face, "Every shopkeeper, don't worry, you all have a share. Now let's quote the price."
The medicinal material dealers were intimidated by Lu Desheng's power, and with the presence of Tian Qinglai, the prices they offered were very fair.
But this fair price sounds like the sound of nature to the ears of Yang Wei, Xu Zheng and others.
It’s been done! But each of them suppressed the excitement in their hearts, not wanting the other party to see any clues.
Wu Ren smiled and said kindly, "Everyone, this is the price. I will register in that room in a moment. You all line up, come in one by one and tell me the quantity you want, and I will match it for you." quantity."
So, these herbal medicine dealers went into the room one by one and told them the types and quantities of medicinal materials they needed.
After Wu Ren calculated the amount they needed to pay to buy the medicinal materials, he asked them to pay a 10% deposit. Then let them go back and wait. They will be responsible for delivering the medicinal materials and then pay the balance.
The medicinal material dealers thought this was very good. After paying the deposit, they went back and waited.
Tian Qinglai took his eldest son to help his in-laws, went to see his daughter again, and then left reluctantly.
He knew that his family would soon leave Chang'an for Pingzhou, and he didn't know when they would meet again. He also knew that the Xu family would go on the road with the Lu family and the whole family would move to Pingzhou.
Tian's father had also had some thoughts about moving to Pingzhou, but he had more than just Tian Yan's daughter on his knees, and doing business required a network of connections.
Pingzhou is a completely unfamiliar place to them. If they move away from Chang'an, it will be equivalent to giving up their business for so many years and starting from scratch. Almost everyone in the family disapproved of the move.
After the order was negotiated, the next step was to deliver the medicinal materials and settle the final payment. Hu Guangcong's people and Yang Wei's escorts were all dispatched. In just one afternoon, they got rid of all the medicinal materials and took back boxes of gold and silver.
When they moved the gold and silver back to Lu's house and placed it in the main hall, Lu Desheng realized that the deal was quite big and that they had earned a lot for their travel expenses.
As soon as the account was settled, Wu Ren counted it. After confirming that it was correct, Xu Zheng directly took out three thousand taels and moved it to Lu Desheng.
Lu Desheng was confused: "What is this for?"
Xu Zheng smiled and said, "This is the sixth young lady's explanation."
Sixth Young Madam, his daughter?
"Uncle Lu, take it. These three thousand taels are given by the Sixth Young Madam to honor you and my aunt."
Lu Desheng exclaimed, then took his wife Jiang to count the money happily, "Madam, come and see, this is our little girl's filial piety."
Lu Mingzhi, who was a step slower:...
It's over! Does his second sister want her hands and feet to be so fast?
Sure enough, after counting the coins for a while, Lu Desheng suddenly felt something was wrong. He slowly turned his head and looked at Lu Mingzhi, blowing his beard and glaring at him, "Sure enough, your second sister is the most filial!"
Lu Mingzhi handed over the thousand taels of silver in his hand and defended weakly, "I just haven't had time yet." He was also very filial, but not as fast as his second sister.
After Lu Desheng took it, he said disgustedly, "It's so slow, are you a turtle?"
In fact, he wanted to say that the speed was so slow that even eating shit couldn't keep up with the heat, but after thinking about it, he was his son after all, so he had better take it easy and stop scolding him so harshly.
"Just one thousand taels?"
Lu Mingzhi: "Yes." One thousand taels is already a lot, okay? He made a total of three thousand taels! In the words of his second sister, it’s, Mom and Dad, you’re lost.
"Look, this is what your second sister gave you, three thousand taels!" Lu Desheng pulled it proudly, and after the corners of his mouth curled up, he couldn't even press it down.
Lu Mingzhi: How can he compare with his second sister? His father thinks highly of him.
